FIRST ASHES TEST 25-29 NOV AT THE GABBA

[carey]

collingwood in to the attack!!!

Whats wrong with that? i think he's a pretty handy part timer!

yes part timer with haddin fresh i wouldnt gone for the kill leading up to tea....

[Phantom Gossiper]

have i ever bowled to you??

i remember playing you when we hit 300 and i had my footy trip 2nd week i didnt bowl to you then i dont remember playing against you any other time.

Yeah you bowled at the end of the day for a couple overs, just bowled pedestrian snot and i think 2nd ball i despatched you to the boundary

[Phantom Gossiper]

yes part timer with haddin fresh i wouldnt gone for the kill leading up to tea....

no offence but they are prob a bowler short, i think by thrashing out the strike bowlers before tea would only do more damage than good.

Collingwood only needs to bowl 4 or 5 overs here.

No keep him bowling for longer we need to get Huss back in form

[dedja]

Punter should make sure North watches Hussey's innings ... so he understands what it means to give a ****.

[whufc]

TEA
AUS 5/168

Hussey and Haddin not out batsmen

mate i'd just hit 112 some bowling a few overs would've been pedestrian although i still dont remember the ball you SAY you dispatched haha

i do remember us being 3 for 10 i think and getting to 300 and from memory the 2nd week you blokes hit about 220 i reckon??

yeah i missed a run out to get rid of M. Frith :'( and you two destroyed us before you put one down my throat at long off, and yes next week we made i think about 220 and 5/100 odd? A. Frith took 4 fa lol.

270-300 was par score on that ground that game though IMO, we just had no depth in our batting

This is the Ashes thread, not the div 7 adelaide hard wicket thread.

[Lightning McQueen]

Have we got Tony Grieg & Chappelli rattling off anecdotes betweeen balls?

[MatteeG]

This is the Ashes thread, not the div 7 adelaide hard wicket thread.

Agreed, stop bitching about each other and start bitching about Marcus North!

[dedja]

keep going you 2, don't mind us ...

[locky801]

Surely this is the end for Marcus North

[Sorry Dude]

As I just said in the TAS v SA thread. If Ferguson makes runs 1st dig is he a straight swap for North in Adelaide?

Would say that Khawaja is ahead of him, especially considering his with the Australian cricket team at the moment.

[wycbloods]

As much as i didn't want him in the side Hussey is looking very good today. Playing aggressively hitting the ball nicely.

CLarke on the other hand came into the game in good nick and look shocking today.

apologies, caught up in the memories of the glory days

In other news, Swann looks to be getting bit out of this pitch and i dont think Haddin looks that comfortable against him.

[Phantom Gossiper]

seeing the way the aussies have played swann do you think it would have been a team plan to attack him and try to unsettle him?

[Jim05]

Clarke disgraceful. Very selfish putting himself ahead of team. He knew his back was no good but selfishly played therefore jeopardising team. Not good for future aus captain.
Dont get me started on north

Did he tell you this?

No but trust me you know when your backs stuffed. I know guys always want to play but everynow and then common sense must prevail and for the betterment of the team you drop yourself.
Its going to be a long series and we need clarke fit. Would rather he miss 1 test than to do further damage and be out for longer.

The only thing with Khawaja is he is a number 3. Would he be able to play down the order?
